This NBA offseason certainly provided a headline or two. But what about next summer?

After Dennis Smith Jr.'s rookie campaign comes to an end, and the Mavericks reach another offseason with another option on Dirk Nowitzki's team-friendly deal, what names will be floating around 12 months from now potentially searching for a new home?

Obviously, there's still plenty to be decided with an entire season ahead. But here are some the top names that will be making the headlines this time next year...

But in 2018, those big fish will be plentiful again should the metaphorical NBA dominoes fall correctly.

To name a few potential free agents with either player or team options after next season: LeBron James, Kevin Durant, LaMarcus Aldridge, Dallas' Wesley Matthews, Enes Kanter, DeAndre Jordan, and Paul George.

In a recent live chat with readers, SportsDay's Eddie Sefko said that the Mavs have been doing it 'the right way' building from within, but the team hopes they might have enough cash to make a run at a player like George.

"That would fast-track their rebuild," Sefko said. "And if you have the cash, you at least are in the game when it comes to luring those kind of players."

For those who may not know, here's the NBA's explanation of what being a restricted free agent means: A restricted free agentcan sign an offer sheet with any team, but the player's original team can retain him by matching the terms of that offer. The original team is said to have the "right of first refusal."

Now, for the contracts that are actually clear cut.

Devin Harris and Seth Curry contributed in a big way to the Mavs' 2016-17 season, but their respective deals still both have an expiration date at the end of next season.

Recently acquired forward Josh McRoberts also only has one year remaining on his current contract.

Here's a look at some other notable UFA's that will hit the market next summer, some of which will look very familiar to MFFLs...
